Mission
The primary purpose of Chabad Student Group is to offer the unique approach it has to Jewish living, knowledge, and practice to the student community at Case Western Reserve University. Chabad provides vibrant Judaism, imbued with the depth and vitality of Chassidic thought, philosophy, and Jewish Mysticism, and within the framework of traditional Judaism. Our objectives include but are not limited to; educational, ritual, and social activities, in addition to counseling and spiritual guidance to individual students. Our organization is based on Chassidic philosophy, as taught locally at Chabad's Jewish Student Center directed by Rabbi Mendy and Sara Alevsky. Our philosophy does not concern itself with the background, upbringing or 'denomination' that most Jewish organizations utilize; rather we believe that that every single Jew deserves an equal opportunity to experience and enjoy their heritage. All programs and events of Chabad Student Group are within the framework of Halachah, Jewish law, as transmitted by the Rabbis throughout the generations dating back to Moses receiving the Torah at Mount Sinai. These goals shall be achieved through weekly Torah (Bible) classes, monthly women's programs, lectures on various Jewish issues, and speakers for religious and cultural events. We will also provide Shabbat and Holiday services, Glatt (the highest Kosher standards) Kosher dinners, Jewish holiday programs, and Shabbatons (unique weekends).

Membership Benefits
